Topic: Profiles too old?

And on the topic of aging, could we maybe delete profiles that haven't been active in a while? Say maybe 2-3 months? And maybe give profile viewers a more accurate depiction of how long they've been away? I only ask, because I've got about 8400 possible matches in my match search, but it seems like 99% (completely made up, but seems relevant) of them have been gone for "Over a month". Some of these profiles make reference to Myspace. Could you at least make an honest effort to keep things up-to-date?

The Site does not Purge Profiles.

And at this time it is not in the works to do so in the future..

Profiles are only deactivated by the site or the member themselves..

Then could you maybe deactivate accounts that have been inactive for X months? Would that stop them them from showing up in searches? It would make it a little easier for those of us that are active to find other active people that might actually answer our messages. It might also help speed up the site, cause sometimes this site takes forever to go between pages.

Just a suggestion. I know you wont do it anyways.

Sorry but that is not something the site will do Members must Deactivate their own Profiles.. the site only Deactivates Profiles if they are against the site rules..

It is the way the site was set so members can Deactivate and come back when ever they want too...

I suggest you consider things from other peoples point of view with this. I know people myself, who have gone into some sort of hibernation or another, and been offline (to the site anyway) for long periods of time, only to return, every bit as earnest about seeking a mate as they were to begin with.

Stuff happens. Life happens. Accidents happen. How would you like it if you were thrown by a horse, and couldn't reach the site for several months, and learned that you had to start all over again from zero?

Oh and one thing I can tell you for certain, the site would NOT move faster if all temporarily idle profiles were deleted or blocked as you want. Profiles are NOT what slows things down.
